I'm a regular Canadian girl. I enjoy staying home. In the summer I've got a garden. I'm very much a homebody, a normal, family-oriented girl. But I do have this other incredible side of my life that involves acting and traveling.

I think, as an artist, whether you're making people laugh or cry or be frustrated or excited - the fact that you're generating some sort of emotion out of an audience is, to me, worth it.

I think it's so wrong to play the victim. There's too many brave women out there that just won't even tolerate it, you know?

To sit through a film where you're just unmotivated to be interested in a character is probably the worst thing that could ever happen.

Life is funny and it is interesting how we make it as serious as possible.

When I was 20, I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young, you want everything to happen now. As you mature, you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.

I just don't like showing everything I've got. I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard to be sexy.
